Controlling Text direction / orientation

[Gustaf]

Hi,

 

Is there any way to be in charge of the text direction / orientation in iReports?

 

The way I see it you will always have to know the amount of labels you want to use horizontally,

but what if you want to make a list of textfields -(from left to right in detail or columnheader for instance) under

runtime - determined by the amount of elements in your data source.

 

For instance if I had an XML data source with a given set of Nodes, maybe 5 nodes - in each node theere is an element with a name

of a person eg <PersonName>Curt</PersonName>, so I would have 5 <PersonName> elements. Now I want

to create a list of horizontal textfields with a name in every textfield.

 

Is it possible ... ?

:silly:

There is a setting on the page properties called Print Order under Report Columns - I set it to horizontal and add some Columns - all set .. datasource elements are printed horizontally! :) Do you get Karma if you answer your own questions ?
